Police have arrested three men on suspicion of conspiracy and murder in the 2016 disappearances of two California teenagers.

The Yolo County Sheriff’s Office said Monday that 18-year-old Jesus Campos of Woodland, and 21-year-olds Chandale Shannon of Winters and Jonathan Froste of Knights Landing are jailed on suspicion of murder and conspiracy. Campos and Froste also face kidnapping charges.

Officials could not say if they have attorneys.

The mother of 16-year-old Enrique Rios told The Sacramento Bee that he texted her on Oct. 17, 2016, saying he was under too much pressure and was going away for a while, but would return.

Security cameras showed 17-year-old Elijah Moore at a check cashing facility on Nov. 4, 2016. A text later said he was headed to the San Francisco Bay Area.
